[000:00:00;00] our helmsman, our helmsman, budanov comes out and says that there will be no invasion, that's bullshit. i'm the chief of intelligence and people listen . he says there won't be any nuclear attack. relax. in this situation, i feel sorry for those people who continue to watch ben's marathon. those people who continue to look into the green team's mouths and expect some informational things from them. they continue bless the entire team that, in principle, did a lot of trouble. i don't want to repeat now that the war is allegedly due to zelenskyi's team, but one of the elements that putin mentioned before the invasion is that ukraine is a country that did not exist because the one that did exist will be itself. they will protect it thanks to the actions of the authorities

, he thought so, besides, the medvedchuks told him that his world is in danger here, but once again i emphasize that it is all in a complex and this is our biggest problem, so i am ready and others watching near the marathon, what else can i say, those who watched benya's marathon in kherson, they were shocked. that in six hours, the russians entered kherson, in 12 hours, they were already at the kakhovsky hpp. and you look how long we are knocking them out of there and freeing them meter by meter and do you know why? because they undermined and we didn’t undermine, they make it difficult for us to advance and we didn’t make it difficult , they were now building defensive lines and biden told us to raid the cops to build roads, we bought bitumen in belarus and we didn’t do cholera for in order to build boundaries in our country, even bridges can be blown up only with the consent of the bank you had on the approaches to kyiv, and at the same time when there was no such consent, thank god that the officers who blew up and the russians here

through ivankiv still did not came in. and you remember in your broadcasts, i even said where they would go from, you understand. and today i say they will detonate from the as and what's next, yes, i see that they will do it. i don't know what needs to change so that they don't do it, they will go there with explosives they didn't bring it in order to look at it there then spend money and take it out of there that's all, will the tactical nuke be used on my deep conviction i trust the information and awareness of president biden that's all i can't trust budanov, who's already sorry well, just hair i'll say everything so politely on the air several times with my with his predictions, but he is also us, he is a maker , he is 15 00 and more than any intelligence agencies of the whole world combined, they can compete with budanov in interviews and of various

kinds in some statements to journalists well, what will i do, we have what we have, we will be offended by what was chosen. i just don't know why the citizens of ukraine who are now rotting in the trenches, why did they make such a mistake that we now have to fight back like this and the most important thing is that russia wants to freeze the conflict at any cost, because in order for us to pass this war on to our children, and we have no right to do that, that's why we now have to pay attention to the threats of the russians . to be honest , we have to. be ready thank you, mr. igor , for the conversation, this is igor lapin, a special officer, this is an officer of the armed forces of ukraine , a people's deputy of ukraine of the eighth convocation. thank you for participating in the program. watch live on youtube and on facebook like this video

that the russians are preparing a terrorist act at the zaporizhzhia npp, we have already spoken on our broadcasts many times and the president has also repeatedly mentioned that there is a danger from the russian occupiers at the zaporizhzhia npp in energodar, a few days ago , the general director of the iaea came there and said that, in principle, the situation is more or less normal, but the world does not react to the terrorist act of the russians because we are not we are talking now about a complete terrorist attack and the seizure of the zaporizhia npp is already a terrorist act against the whole world according to your opinion. are the russians in their current condition aggressive and are they ready to launch a terrorist attack on the zaporizhia npp and what goal are they pursuing

and will they pursue in the event if they land a nuclear power plant in the air, well, what will be the consequences, they looked at how the world society will react, e.e., the world society did not undermine the kakhovskaya aggression, then the arrival of the leader-mogate at this station and what was constant there, it is very interesting what he said after you didn't see it, he said that there was mining, but it was mined at the station, and the mined area around the station is generally very strange. and it is not a danger to the reactors, and after that he went to moscow to arrange to talk with putin about what's going on there? and what should be done so that there is safety at this station ? well, i have to, i can definitely change the name, whether it's given or chudnov, or whether it's dokov, what's the name of the deputy head of mt - it's for the russians, and

it seems to me that these statements are made by the leaders mrt is exactly what his deputy prescribed emotions, because he says, well, in the grand scheme of things, they are prices, that is, that the station is not mined, but there are military personnel who laid mines around the station, and it’s like , well, there is no threat to the station, there is danger, but there is no threat. therefore, it is necessary to decide and negotiate something there with putin, what about us proposing our offensive action, so that we don't approach this station, what can we agree on, we need to withdraw immediately. here, the russian troops have to do a lot. they can do something that is kept and even this terrat that they can do by the russians so that it becomes catastrophically unprofitable from a financial point of view, and then they would decide that what they can do is not necessary because there would be very bad consequences, not only archaeological, not only with some sanctions and also from the financial point of view, which they could lose a lot of money, that's why the position

is so much, well, you already know it, it 's no longer surprising, the position of the red cross is not surprising, the opposition of the organization unites us, i thought that everyone has already understood that these organizations must be reformed and reformed very seriously after our victory, because they were created after the second world war , the red cross is a separate conversation, the four geneva conventions, they have been working for a long time , but now their things are very strange, the organization about the united nations was created after the second world war, as there were also organizations such as megate, including those that were in order to ensure nuclear safety, to ensure peace , peace in the world. well, on the planet and if any country some terrorist actions begin to attack other countries, they had to take certain measures that were prescribed there, that were foreseen there , well, there was no such idea of ​​such measures when this un organization was created that they

would express concern in the event of an attack by one security guard on another. wait or let's do something about this conflict, the conflict they loosely call the conflict the death and pacification of the aggressor and so on, that is , it seems to me that this reaction is extremely wrong and we must remember that these organizations international, they exist and people receive good wages and good benefits thanks to the contributions made by all countries , including ukraine, that is, on the whole , we can say that you and i, including our taxes, have paid some part of the salaries of these people. well, i think that they should leave those who express their concerns very much there , play out in their countries and do their own business there, and these organizations should be done in a new way.

i think that no serious actions will be taken after the visit of the manager to moscow. i think that there will be some proposals or conditions for us not to advance , for us not to do something there. i think that we will begin to be accused of the fact that we are almost to blame for the fact that such a situation occurred, so we need to be morally ready for this. and what president zelensky said, i said about the khokhovka kakhiv hpp back in october of last year, and well, no, no, we didn’t hear it, now he says the same thing, which is a danger they replaced what does it mean that the nuclear plant was mined nearby or not bad, well, it is a danger if the world 's population becomes alarmed, there will really be any radioactive elements and clouds will go to europe. store. they will also be very worried and will flee somewhere from the radiation, i don't know where to hide, to antarctica or where. well, the situation is very bad, honest

, this is a variant, they remembered this russian, his last name is chudakov, he is mykhailo chudakov , he asked the deputy general director iaea director of the department of nuclear energy last year in march, when the russians took over the zaporizhzhia npp, ukraine appealed to the store with a request to remove this russian from the management of the iaea, but he remained in his position at the same time , everything seems clear to me. then you can say more about some of them. not everything is so unambiguous , not everything is unambiguous, yes, everything is so bad, well, we understand the man is a russian who is the deputy and head of mogote and the russians seized the atomic the station is threatened by the russians with measures of terrorist attacks and this person who is also russian and we understand that he will defend those interests well, and

we pretend well, it is not there without noticing or do you not want to put it, well, you know, we have many , many conclusions, each of us has made for himself about so what is actually uh politics , what is actually european politics, well world politics and a lot. i think many of us have a relationship with certain structures of international structures that we respected a lot and on which we really hoped , well, little by little, you are changing for the worse. this week, biden spoke about the real threat of the russians using tactical nuclear weapons. putin already spoke about

the nuclear triad of the russian federation at a meeting with the military. let's see what putin said. and rvsn units are equipped with the latest electronic power systems , rearmament of troops is being carried out on modern missile systems from the avangard hypersonic combat unit i.e. russia is a country that produces new weapons, its own military weapons are the first and second uh-uh, they probably don't know how to do anything else except kill people, create weapons, but it's a specific weapon, russian weapons, of course uh-uh, according to you the world has time to react to what putin is doing and why the world does not do something to neutralise, relatively speaking, the one who terrorizes all humanity on this planet and

threatens this humanity with destruction, something like that sorry, the world reacts very slowly and very, very sluggishly this well, we see this i think that he, well, such a reaction is expected, we expect that they are a civilized witness to react to it but in the end, i think that even those people who still have some doubts about what should be done with the russian federation are getting to them little by little that the danger concerns not only our country, that this is not a local conflict between russia and ukraine, as some people call it, this is a war started by russia, and it threatens everyone in the world who is trying to help us preserve our ukraine, that he will strike even later countries that help us, if it is not, it is not inciting, some kind of actions of people, well, the country is a snitch, the european union is another, another country , well, then they can wait for actions from the side, he is already looking at what blew up the kakhovsk factory, nothing

, the titanium plant in armenian, well, he is not reacting, he is not reacting yet one ecological disaster zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is like this again, some kind of land variation magotei tells what else is needed there, nothing terrible, they mined not the station itself, but the station next to it, well, it is so magical that i simply do not have and do not know how to comment, but with to win vanguard here, when i was telling this, i could barely smile, i just wonder how many developers of vanguard will be arrested after it turns out that this vanguard is not at all such a vanguard as a dagger, it turned out not to be such a dagger, well , they are lying, well excuse me, the pantika is flying. they know how to talk about the fact that there are no analogues, that they will defeat everyone there , let's give these missiles , what are they? what are we like the eyes of sarmat ?

of rockets they will immediately record this launch of at least one rocket and there are means that will increase it not on the territory of the country where it flies, but directly at the start , besides, there are many of these rockets, the putin module is some, well, here i don’t know, he already worked in the kgb, a strange person eh many eh parts of spare parts well assembling more precisely supplies these missiles when what the russians were under sanctions were supplied from developed countries japan the united states he did not listen to such a phrase black door eh maybe he was doing something else there and not serving ma- i should have understood that many of these elements and components have a black door, that is, it is not a fact because of the golden one. it is not a fact that it is to pay where they plan, that is, i decided that i do not understand, well, strange person , then you said a very good phrase about the fact that putin is beating the ponts, he is whole a week, the team of pontus, he has two more weeks. because he clearly needs to show the russians that he is so confident in himself and that he can threaten everyone

, and at the st. petersburg economic forum , then in front of the military, putin spoke about er, the so-called special military operation, simply speaking, about the russian-ukrainian war and how the ukrainians are currently counter-attacking the russians, and we have a small fragment, let's hear what putin said today, we see that this offensive potential has not been exhausted yet , eh -е reserves that е-е the enemy thinks where and how does he introduce the readiness of commanders е-е to repel any aggressive actions in relation to russia мм it seems to me that the enemy has no chances, they understand this, that's why they stood up now although there are some е-е elements there

combat actions will definitely take place, there will be shelling, but we will repeat it once again, such active offensive actions did not fail. the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, gave an interview to the bbc . he also spoke about the advance of ukrainian troops. rapidly, as during the autumn counteroffensive in the armed forces , according to him, the military leadership evaluates the counteroffensive positively, although there are difficulties , we will hear what zelensky said at first, it is very difficult. at first, you also break psychologically enemy we must understand that we are motivated and russia is threatened by the russian military and their leadership. they know that if they push back they will simply be killed and that is why they are motivated precisely to survive, that is , the situation is not easy, but in any case well

, we will move forward, mr. major how do you rate the first three weeks of the counteroffensive? well, almost three weeks and what have the ukrainians achieved and how quickly will it develop into a counteroffensive , considering that the same harsh king made these defensive redoubts in the southern at the front and you saw it too. i think these satellite images are images from quadcopters. also, how did they set up the same defense lines , three or four defense lines there? well, let's gradually talk about putin first. well, what he is talking about is that there is no possibility, no. who can defeat the russian army? well, they have already defeated, they have already defeated, well, that's the way it is. here i don't want to enter into some kind of conspiracy theory . well, putin is just strange. people who

want to meet him are kept in quarantine for two weeks, then he comes out calmly and communicates. with people at a short distance without quarantine without everything else, that is, it is not known what kind of putin he was, well, they look so strange , in relation to president zelensky, he says the right things, i uh, i hear from his words , he, well, i can’t say, i repeat well he says the same words that the military analysts say that our military leadership says, then i can conclude that uh, he, uh, president zelenskyi constantly communicates with the military because he, uh, well, he says, well, in military terms, it's easier if you can say that. well, i felt that he is not. it is not possible to just chat once there and talk like that. that is, he is. i hear that he is constantly in contact with the military, with those who are conducting hostilities, who are planning hostilities, well, this is not bad. what

is he? not so densely so densely, well, everyone is delving into these military affairs, because he still has certain other international tasks that he has to perform . well, if so, if all the military and political leadership, what is going on and do they have some common thoughts or common plans - it it is already not bad about the three-week offensive, well, about president zelensky, uh, it’s hard work. they said that offensive actions will not be so quick , where did the secretary of defense of the united states say that? -th spring lotus did not say that this will be a marathon that will have to be endured and it must be completed to the end, therefore all the people who are experts abroad, including those who analyze not counter-offensive actions, but offensive actions, we

are now conducting offensive actions and they everyone says that powerful offensive actions consist of certain stages. well, first, i don’t want to go into details . well, first, the assault group , as it were, the mukachevok infantry occupy certain positions, then the main part moves up and so on , that is, the offensive actions are now as fast as they were successful. well, you you know, let's trust our military leadership . they don't need to lie, they say, well, the military , the military-political, so far, what we 're doing, the way we're advancing, it corresponds , well, to a large extent, it corresponds to that plans that were at the beginning of this, this, this, our offensive, this is our offensive operation, and let's remember that we used only 25% of the forces that were planned, this means that we have reserves and we can strengthen the offensive action, make some beautiful there are hollywood pictures, no one is going, but at the same time, it is complicated. it is a very complex combination and offensive

. the action is not just running around the field, knocking out the enemy for a copy. among them, this is sabotage work, this is the destruction of warehouses, this is the destruction of bridges, all the same, this is a complex, a large complex of tasks that our army must perform in order to achieve success, and you are the enemy of these positions, where it is, to break through the defense line and then move on, it is used, including information warehouses and including the international support that is provided to us, it is not only tactics, not only weapons, it is all together , everything is a hybrid war. what is happening now, all the components, well, well, the proportions are important for now. well, i don't know. from the point of view of the military. it seems to me that everything is fine. offensive action is taking place. as it should be, offensive action is taking place. therefore, for those who are worried that it is not so fast, i would like, well, if these are people inside our country or abroad, we also have international

it is possible to attract military personnel. who wants to fight on our side against the aggressor, then if someone thinks that it is slow and wrong, then please come and sign up in our armed forces. well, what else can i comment on, the armed forces of ukraine hit the chingar bridge and the russian public, in general, the russian media comment on this attack on the chingar bridge, because chingar is a bridge that connects the continental country with the autonomous republic of crimea, which is annexed and temporarily occupied by russia federation and, in principle , there should probably be such strikes. as early as february 24 , 2022, there were three three bridges, one old one, one new railway bridge, and these bridges were opened for the passage of the russian occupiers on

the territory of continental ukraine, the administrative border there passed between the occupied crimea and ukraine . what does this mean? it means that these strikes indicate that the ukrainians want to deprive the russians of sources of supply and ways of supplying weapons and new military personnel are brought in with the pressure of crimea, well, it’s easier to say that the ukrainians want to close them in a mousetrap , so that is, cut berdyansk melitopol land supply and we will open it correctly, i understood. for now, there is a task to cut off crimea. well , it is two in one to make it impossible supply something from the crimea, because besides this powerful military base of the russians, there is a lot of things there and what they feed the troops that are east of the crimea, well, in the kherson direction, in other higher places

, it is quite clear that they have one road left through armyansk and there the titan that they wanted was going for gold, the ball that they were going to blow up, now i think that they are not planning to blow it up, because if they blow it up, then they will remain at all, they will cut themselves off from the opportunity to leave crimea or are you entering crimea from the russian mainland for the first time, why two in one, the first is to ensure that nothing leaves crimea while we are there we will deal with these and leave god willing, we will leave this year even this summer, as long as the weather is warm, as they said from our intelligence, we will arm the sea of ​​azov, and then we will cut off crimea from the mainland of the russian federation, and then it will not be possible to import anything into crimea. into the new russian one and which they are turning into, on a large scale, the headquarters of transport ships among them, because they understand that the crimean ones can be destroyed, that they can

be from the crimea already from different landmasses from the mainland of russia, and only these very ships that have been converted from the cargo and there is something in this way. well, when the weapons we have, that's why we can sink these, well, all the floating means, that's why the situation in the big account for them there, well , it can be seen that it's critical, i don't think that they are this this this they also understand very well because there will be some actions on their part to prevent us from doing it and when not if and when we do it, then crimea will be in a conditionally sharpened state from now on, uh, you can only deliver something by sea, we understand what this is no, this will not give an opportunity to strongly fuel those armed silos located there. well, what’s more, and besides, we have long-range weapons , including drones that fly and there have already been tests of these drones in combat conditions for 1000 km, that is, the whole of crimea will be under our

fire control well, let's see what will happen these groups that remained in the crimea, it seems to me that they will have two ways, or three ways , lada or all 2.5, either to surrender or flee across the sea to drown, this is 2.5 to escape but to drown. moreover, we know that all the armies that were on in the crimean peninsula, during all the wars, they basically fell into the same trap, because in front of them, behind, rather, they had the sea and they had no other way out, and this has been going on for a century and this whole story. moreover, if there is no crimean bridge, then it is absolutely clear what and what are they will do and if their ships are also within the range of our artillery, our er long-range er ships these should be transport ships on the big barge , to put it simply, they are not the kind of ships that, well, not like the moscow springs that we suffered there , where i am against

rocket means well, everything there has certain protections. they were just transport ships that were used to transport food in ammunition there , people can still be bought there more easily. military expert of the national guard of ukraine, friends, in the next program, we will have a good evening, goodbye, thank you for participating in the program, in the next program , we will have volodymyr ogrysko, a diplomat, wait for the next program, i put a full stop on this, i wish you all good health take care of yourself and your family . goodbye. well, the espresso tv channel continues. at 10:00 p.m., watch the exclusive interview of khrystyna parubiy with the president of poland,
